[QUOTE="okbustchaser, post: 2123599, member: 72642"]Would I ever "go nuclear"? I have done so in the past. (2009) It barely makes Good and has graffiti dating from the year 1845. It cost me solid XF money (Plus my max bid was almost twice what I got it for). But it is the last (achievable by me) die marriage for my 1827 set. It's estimated that only about 35 or so examples exist in any grade--most of which are damaged. I've been looking for an affordable O-144 for the last 19 years.
